Tuna loins recalled in several states for risk of Salmonella

Relish Foods Inc. of Culver City, CA, is recalling frozen Newport brand tuna loins because a routine, random test by the Food and Drug Administration returned results for Salmonella bacteria.

Relish Foods is working with the FDA on an investigation into what caused the problem, according to the recall notice posted on the agency’s website.

The recalled tuna loins were distributed in Washington, Oregon, Northern California, Nevada, Idaho and Arizona between Aug. 15 and Sept. 25 to food service operations, retail stores and restaurants. Relish distributed the 5- to 8-pound, vacuum-packed, frozen, whole tuna loins in 30-pound Newport branded cases. The cases are labeled with the production lot codes of MTNT 0947C, MTNT 0957B, MTNT 0967A, and MTNT 0977D.

On the retail side, Relish Foods distributed the tuna to retailers including Basha’s, Randall’s Fine Meats, Yokes Fresh Market, CalMart, Raley’s, Concord Produce Market, Bel Air Market, Speedy Market and Nob Hill.

Tuna from the recalled lots will have been displayed at the retailers’ seafood departments where it is likely to have been sold as steak loins or pieces of loins on trays with clear plastic wrap covers. It may also have been sold out of the fresh case and wrapped to-order in “butcher paper.”

Retail locations that received the recalled tuna and may have sold it in unbranded form are:

Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy people infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea that may be bloody, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.

In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections, endocarditis and arthritis.
